Reviews
What our customers say
I had been travelling for 6 weeks. My car sitting in the sun for all that time. The right front wheel made a dreadful clunking noise. […] Car put on ramp and I was sent a video of a torch inspection. New brake discs and pads needed. 36 hours later all sorted. The communication was excellent. Great team.
Jennifer L.Google review
Great service when fixing my Corsa. Had a engine light check on and the bodywork was very damaged. Within 2 days they have fixed the issue and sorted the bumper so it wasn’t being held to the frame by tape 🤣. […] Owner speaks perfect English and is a delight to work with.

Magnífico equipo de profesionales. Dieron rápido con el problema y repararon al instante. El trato ha sido excelente. Son extremadamente educados, agradables y honestos. No me dejaron marchar hasta que comprobaron que el coche funcionaba correctamente.

A great team of professionals. They found the problem quickly and fixed it on the spot. Extremely polite, friendly and honest. They didn’t let me leave until they’d checked the car was working properly.

How it works
Booking takes one message
Message us on WhatsApp

FAQ
Before you come in
Do you work on all makes?
Yes. Cars, SUVs and vans of any make, petrol and diesel.
Will I lose my warranty if I don’t use the main dealer?
No. EU Regulation 461/2010 lets you have your car serviced at an independent garage, as long as the manufacturer’s specifications are followed and parts of matching quality are used. We list every part reference on the invoice as a record.
Do I need to book?
Best to message us on WhatsApp first so we can give you a slot. For urgent breakdowns we try to see you the same day.
Do you speak English?
Yes. We work in English and Spanish.
How can I pay?
Cash or card.
Will I get a quote before the repair?
Always. We diagnose first, send you the quote, and only start once you’ve said yes.
